2K,
Will ask my CL to try cooking that ginger juice with DOM. I oso cannot believe I took so much rice wine, esp I dun really take alcohol. I think you can dun need to buy so much this time round. There is another food that I can’t believe I consumed so much, which is ginger! Taken 3 big bags (those red plastic bags) of ginger.
FB:
For me, I think during work hours forum thread is still better. I can’t bring in hp to work so if access to FB need to go thru web secretly and take time to load. My office is very open, forum not so obvious. At home or outside FB is easier,I access to them more frequently bcos of the app.

Esther: I can't bake! And this pregnancy I don't like things too sweet. And I recall in the dream it was so yummy cos it's not those sickeningly sweet cupcakes. See, so vivid. Terrible right. Hahahaha
Re: Red dates tea
I drink about 1 cup a week when I go back to mom's. I double boil birds nest once a week too. And double boil chicken essence once a week as well.

hi ladies...
ya lo! it's not only the copying... i mean i seriously feel happy for a lady when the lady is preggie... cos it's the most lovely thing that can happen to a woman...
but for her, she's always saying one thing and doing another... she was telling a colleague who had difficulty conceiving that she will only try next year... but in fact, at that time, everyone is suspecting that she's preggie...
When i got engaged, she announced her engagement 2 weeks later... and this is despite the fact that she has been with her partner for less than a year... and a lot of other little things that she does behind one back... like trying to insinuate that the other person is inferior...
But i think God is very nice and good to her... cos to conceive at this age... and at a time where she wants to... is really not an easy feat...
i shall think of positive things so that baby will have positive vibes... haha

Iko, i love chicken essence. Yah its suppose to be heaty but i tot preg heaty is ok but cannot take liang. Guess way too heaty also no good. This balancing between heaty n over heaty is all guess work. Been taking 1 bottle every two days. Dont feel sick or anything so far.

Hi all! As I am usually not at my desktop, its a bit hard to post so gonna be another long post once in a couple of days.
Name: For my #1, I had a chinese name in mind. When she was delivered, I text the geomancer the birth details and a couple of days later, hubby went to meet him on the name discussion. The geomancer had came up with a list of characters that are suitable for the second n third character and we can permutate these characters as we like so could be hundreds of permutations! Good thing is 3rd character i like is there and as for 2nd character, I chose same pronounciation but different word. So overall I'm still happy.
Baby movement: Hmm, although its #2, I'm still not really feeling movements leh. Haha. Probably coz I put on too much weigh so I can't feel the kicks through the fats! I remembered gynae mentioned it also has to do with the position of the baby when we can feel the movements.
Babyplus: I have not idea whether baby plus worked. I used it pretty faithfully for #1 (daily but not same timing).Investment made so I shall take it out to use upon 18 weeks. We did a spree with my #1 mummies via ebay and shared the shipping. Think S$100+, less than S$150?
Dreams: Haha. I am a dreamer. I dream intensively everyday pregnant or not. So I am pretty immune to dreams but the bad thing is hard for me to wake up coz always in the midst of dreams and wanna know the ending!
DOM & Chicken essence: I hate both! I still got tonnes of them from #1. My CL would warm up one bottle of chicken essence for me every am. I can't take the DOM tonic soup. Super sweet n yucky. This time round maybe will try the method of adding ginger.
Rice wine: Rice wine is sweet n nice when cook with food. Ny mum helped me order with my great granduncle who brewed that for me. I still have 1-2 bottles left. Hmm. Shall reassess later if i need more.
Coconut: I didn't have chance to eat much coconuts. think maybe 2? as baby was delivered around 2 weeks b4 EDD. I had like 3 coconuts in my fridge when I delivered but cannot eat after that coz confinement can only eat heaty things. I think there is no difference leh. I didn't eat much coconuts but my gal was pretty 'clean' when delivered. Its shiok to eat coconuts though near tailend of pregnancy.
rabbit & snakes: Esther, rabbit & snake bb and rejoy 28, all have oct 11 babies? mine nov 11. Cool. Next time our play dates combine #1 & #2 can play together.
FB: paisay. I had difficulty finding the FB group name. Can someone share again and I search? I was with Dec 11 mummies group and we almost full migrated to FB around this timing (week 16-18) when pregnancy is stabilised for everyone. Its much more interactive, organised and fun on FB. Its also easier to share lobangs on FB. I am ok with joining current group if I'm accepted or a new group if there's one. Is the current FB group dormant bcoz there are less members? I wanna share good sales but then I am in real estate or busy taking care of #1 on MIL's off day so not much chance to access comp to post, easier to share the lobangs I have on WA/FB with you gals on FB.
Anyone going for the sales near tampines safra this fri? I swept like siao last yr during my confinement. Haha. Brought my CL, baby n hb along. Its like 3 for $10 for carters rompers and dresses! Going there with some of my #1 mummies on fri.

What's the a average weight gain for our stage? I'm now 19 gg 20 weeks and gained 1kg from pre-preg. But then it's cos I lost 2 kg in my 1st tri fr the nausea and lack of appetite. And my pre-preg weight was 3kg heavier than b4 I had my 1st bb. So hoping this time round I don't gain so much and can lose back to my original state. I gained a whopping 19kg for my 1st lor...sobz.

i got post the address and pic in the fb group for the carters sale this friday ah...
but then hor...i am not in singapore, so i gonna miss this round. anyway i dunno gender of baby, not likely buying yet.
TIE: u search the archive for the link or just search for a small small world.
its not very active as yet cos some mummies still prefer to chat here. cos during office hours, some unable to access fb one.
but i assume when on maternity or weekends or after office hours, it be more active bah.
ikuko: if u wanna buy cordyceps must go to reputable shops to get (but ex la). my mil told me, there are alot alot of fakes going around now. thus she dont advise me to take.
but then there is a cordyceps militaris that has the same effect as cordyceps which is equally good and most important cheap.
perhaps u can try that.
Cordyceps Militaris Benefits
Though, Cordyceps sinensis is much more popular than Cordyceps militaris, the latter too is fast gaining momentum, for its so-called health benefits. As mentioned above, Cordyceps militaris has been used in the traditional Chinese medicine for a long time. According to recent researches, this fungi contain certain polysaccharide components and cordycepin, which are said to be beneficial for treating cancer. It has also been suggested that as in case of Cordyceps sinensis, Cordyceps militaris too has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. So, the latter is also used as a substitute for the former.
As per some studies, Cordyceps militaris has higher amounts of polysaccharides and cordycepin, as compared to Cordyceps sinensis. Cordyceps militaris is also claimed to have anti-aging properties and is said to be suitable for everyone. It is also believed to be useful for boosting the immune system and promoting the health of kidneys and lungs. In some regions, this fungus is used for treating lung and kidney diseases, hyperglycemia and high blood cholesterol levels. It is also claimed to be good for those with insulin resistance. Owing to the growing popularity of this fungi, nowadays Cordyceps militaris cultivation is also done. The fungus is cultured and processed to be sold in the form of dried fungi, powder, extract, etc.

Morning ladies,
Ikuko,
My CL ask my MIL to buy cordycep during my last confinement, then she brew with other chinese herbs to make tonic for me. Took that during my last 2 weeks of the confinement.
2Ks,
What is the chinese name for cordyceps militaris? Just curious…. Looks it it had gd effects too.
Captain_piglet,
I’m going to be 19weeks, I gained 2 kg from my pre-preg weight so far. I lost 2 kg during 1st tri because I have no appetite and kept vomiting.

2Ks, i saw them at Eu Yang Sang and Fu Hua. Most likely, my MIL will buy from Fu Hua cos they have membership there. How does the Cordyceps Miltaris look like?
Btw, can add me in FB? My user id: [email protected].
